Fairy Tail: Erza Scarlet

A very strong individual and one of the main characters of the series, Erza is known to be quite strict with the rules of Fairy Tail. If anyone steps out of line or is slow in doing what she asks, they are quickly punished. Even Natsu and Gray almost immediately stop arguing whenever someone mentions her name.

That is one of the most impressive cosplays I’ve seen in a long time! I got this from one of Tori Avalon’s plurks, and I thought it was definitely worth mentioning. Thanks to Panoramic Panda for sharing this!

EDIT: Thanks to anon for letting me know the cosplayer's name is Kristel Lim!

Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance: Makinami Mari Illustrious and Ayanami Rei

At the apparent death of Soryu Asuka Langley, Ikari Shiji left NERV as he disapproved of his father’s actions. It was then that the Tenth Angel attacked, forcing Mari to hijack Unit-02 in an attempt to beat the Angel. However, even after she initiated the berserker mode, she was no match for it. Ayanami Rei then piloted Unit-00, but even with both of them working together, the Angel still remained unscathed.

And I won’t reveal any more than that! If you’d like to know what happened next, you’d best watch the movie yourself… Thanks again to Jamie for sending this!

Angel Beats!: Nakamura Yuri 02

When she was still alive, Nakamura Yuri lost her 3 younger siblings to burglars who were looking for valuables inside their home. She never forgave herself and vowed to fight against God, creating an organization known as the Shinda Sekai Sensen (SSS) which literally means “Afterlife War Front”. She is an effective leader of the organization, caring a lot for its members like a second family.

Beautiful cosplay! And now that I’ve read more about the character, Angel Beats! seems like a really good series. Thanks again to Aila for sending this in!

Final Fantasy XII: Vaan

A 17-year-old orphan who lost both his parents and his only brother Reks, Vaan is a cheerful and energetic boy who dreams of becoming a sky pirate in command of his own airship. As part of his “training”, he kills dire rats in the sewers of Rabanastre on a daily basis, earning him the nickname “Van Ratsbane”. He makes a living as Migelo’s assistant, running errands and at the same time, pick pocketing from Archadian soldiers, claiming to be taking back what is Dalmasca’s.

Beautifully detailed cosplay! It looks like the silver parts of the armor are made of heavy paper or cardboard. I wonder if the gauntlets are made of the same material? Thanks again to Syaza for the contribution!

Sound Horizon: Hortensia and Violette

Twins who are the exact opposites of one another, Hortensia and Violette were first featured in the album “Roman” by fantasy band, Sound Horizon. They represent day and night as well as life and death.

Aren’t they adorable? I wish I could read Japanese so that I’d know what’s written on the photograph though. Thanks to Timmy for sending this!

Bleach: Kuchiki Rukia 05

When Rukia was forced to give her Soul Reaper abilities to Ichigo in order to save his family, she was left too weak to return to Soul Society. As such, she remained in the human world under Ichigo’s care until Byakuya and Renji were sent to find her. Unfortunately, Rukia was sentenced to death because of her actions and it’s up to Ichigo to save her.

Happy Halloween, everyone! I thought it would be appropriate to feature a shinigami for the occasion! I hope everyone has an awesome Halloween!

Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu: Sylvia

Now this girl looks like someone who came out of Ragnarok Online. But I’ve never played the game before, so I can’t be sure, especially with all the character upgrades they’ve done over the years!

She does remind me of the Gypsy character though… I wonder if that’s an accurate guess? Please help me out, guys! Thanks again to Gundamu for the photo!

EDIT: Thanks to Anon for letting me know she's Sylvia from Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu!

Mayoi Neko Overrun!: Serizawa Fumino

When I first saw this in my inbox, it made me think of Toradora!’s Aisaka Taiga. She has blond hair, and the same tsundere attitude just like Taiga, but I don’t think they ever had uniforms like this in the series.

Does anyone have a better idea? Thanks to Bonamana for sending this!

EDIT: Thanks to kawainu for commenting she's Serizawa Fumino from Mayoi Neko Overrun!

One Piece: Boa Hancock

The only female member of Shichibukai, Pirate Empress Boa Hancock is also known as the Snake Princess of Amazon Lily. Her beauty is said to be legendary, comparing her to the beauty of mermaids. She and her two younger Gorgon sisters, Boa Sandersonia and Boa Marigold are the current rulers of the Kuja Tribe.

Beautiful cosplay! And from what I’ve read, a very hard photo to find. Thanks to Aerie for taking the time to look for this and sending it to my email!

Naruto: Uchiha Itachi 02

Because of the violence of war Itachi experienced during his early childhood, he longed for peace and wished to achieve it at any cost. This was the reason why he became a double agent when his clan planned a coup d'état against Konohagakure. He was given orders to assassinate all of the Uchiha, but could not bring himself to kill his younger brother, Sasuke. He made himself out as a villain and joined the criminal organization, Akatsuki, continuing his work as an agent of Konoha.

Beautiful cosplay! I’ve always liked this character despite being the villain in Naruto. Thanks to Trida for sending this!

EDIT: Thanks to anon for commenting the cosplayer is Jesuke!

Her main job aboard the plane is managing the gift shop, which carries her own designer line of suitcases. She serves as one of the witnesses in Gyakuten Kenji’s second case.

Pretty impressive, especially the hair! I’m still puzzled how she even got her hair to look that way. Thanks to Joof for emailing this!
